Canadian Dental Care Plan coverage and co-pay check
cdcp_coverage_checkUse this when the user asks whether the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers a dental procedure and what share they would pay, given an adjusted family net income and a province. Returns the CDCP income tier (share paid by the plan and co-pay percentage), the coverage status and pre-authorization rule of each of the 9 procedures from the federal plan guide, and, when a procedure is given, an estimated co-pay in Canadian dollars on the provincial fee reference (badge estimated; the plan pays on its own fee grid). Only an income figure and a province are asked: no name, SIN, date of birth or insurer. Phrasings: "would CDCP pay for a crown with a family net income of 75k in Ontario", "my share for a filling under the federal dental plan in Manitoba", "¿el plan dental canadiense cubre una endodoncia si la familia gana 72 000 al año?", "copago del CDCP para una extracción en Québec". Do not use for: diagnosis, treatment choice, a named insurer's plan price, dentist recommendations, countries other than the US and Canada. Observed market research with a source URL and period on every figure; not a quote, not medical advice.
